When the baby in a man's arms grabbed my bread, the filling bursted out.
Is "the" before filling correct?
Is there any weird part in the sentence?
Thanks in advance!!!

There is no word "bursted". The past tense and past participle of the irregular verb "to burst" are "burst":
"the filling burst out"
"the filling has burst out"

I have some cultural questions for you. In the United States, "bread" would normally mean bread only, with no "filling."
Bread filled with slices of meat, lettuce, cheese, etc would be a "sandwich." But when squeezed, the filling of a sandwich would not "burst" out. It might "fall out" if handled by a baby.
If you tell me that the filling "burst out," it suggests a sweet pastry with a jelly-like filling. "When the baby grabbed my jelly doughnut, the filling burst out."

Rather say: 'grabbed my sandwich, the filling oozed out.'
